2007 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 classic. When I started my truck this morning, the brake pedal went to the floor. Brake fluid was all over the driveway.

Research shows that gm and NHTSA have long been aware of this critical safety problem. Why hasn't there been a recall issued?.

All brake lines are eroding, rusting out to the point where they have to be replaced. . . Had a brake line to the real wheels blow out on me as as was leaving a bank I do my business with. Had to replace a section of it. Upon inspection of the other lines they are all rusted to the point the it's just a matter of time before they fail.

Like many other gm trucks, the steel brake line rusted and failed. I was backing by boat on to the ramp when the brakes failed. The weight of the boat and the steepness of the ramp pulled by truck in to the bay. Thank god my family was out of the vehicle. The NHTSA must mandate that gm fix all severely corroded brake lines at either a reduced or no-charge fee to owners. I am being told that a large portion of the $1,200 labor fee will be for bending of replacement lines. At a minimum, gm should bear the cost of the labor involved in bending of the lines as they refuse to provide performed lines to their dealers. If the government (which is supposed to represent the citizens) really cares about safe vehicles - and we see some of the 'things being recalled nowadays" - why on earth isn't gm being held responsible for recalling gm trucks when there are so many examples of brake line failures!.

I applied the brakes of my 07" chevy silverado classic in a parking lot, the truck stopped and then the brakes went all the way to the floor. Got the truck home, and soon found a pool of brake fluid on the ground under the left rear wheel. I was able to get the truck to the dealership with almost no stopping power. Diagnosis - brake line failure. The brake lines had deteriorated and have begun falling apart. The solution - a $2,400 brake line replacement job (actual part cost $100). The job is apparently extremely labor intensive. Is gm doing anything about this? my truck is 7 years old and should not have the major braking system failure problem that I am experiencing.

While backing into my driveway I lost all of my brakes. The pedal went to the floor. I used the emergency brake and put the truck into drive. I managed to stop the truck before any damage occured,my drive way is steep and I was lucky I was going slow in 4 wheel drive. I found the brake lines had been corroded and burst. The lines ruptured under the drivers side. I read that gm said it was not a safety issue and you still would have some brakes. How on earth would you have brakes when the lines rusted through. A 2007 truck . I read this has been an issue for over 12 years with gm pick ups. Check your brake lines-its life or death.

Went to sticker vehicle (state inspection) told brake line failed inspection. With year and mileage, shows the danger posed from manufacture. Quality materials need to be installed. Early brake line wear poses danger to public.

Brakes went out in driveway. Towed to local garage , found all brake lines were rusted and parts of lines were snapped apart. This happened with normal driving,no incident. Thank god nobody was hurt. Sad to say I have lost my faith in chevy!!! ## VIN failed ## chevy silverado 2007 1500 wt ##.
